At a meeting of a portion of the citi-
zcitfl of Baldwin county on Saturday last,
a cavalry company for the defence of our
homes was organized. M. B. Talbird was
elected Captain, It. A. McComb, 1st I.ieut*
J. A. Jordan 2nd I.ieut.
About fort}' names were enrolled for an
Infantry company, but the election of of
ficers was postponed to Saturday next,
when it is expected that every man with
two feet out of the grave will come for
ward and join one, or tbe other, of these
companies.
In our next paper we will publish tbe
roll of these companies. Our brave sol
diers who arc sacrificing everything dear
to themselves—who are marchingin rain
and sleeping in mud—can then see who
are the men at home who are ready to pro
tect their aged parents, their wives ,«nd
L;tie ones, and their sisters, against the
ruthless invader. Let no man expect to
escape. The time lias come to try men’s
soi.Is; and those who stand hack will he

These are all important Cities—not so
much on account of size and population, as
on account of valuable property—indispen
sable property—of the Confederate States
located at each of them. Arc they prop-
crlv guarded at this time? Could not a
battalion of Cavalry enter and destroy ci
ther of them ? llow long will they he per
mitted to remain in their present defence-
1-ss condition ? It is for the citizens of
these places to answer. Mark the fate of
Jackson, and be ready to avoid the lamen
table consequences that bcfel that beauti
ful and unfortunate City. Not alone is
public property in danger. The enemy
destroyed everything they could put their
hands on in Jackson, and plundered indis-
c ,minutely. In each of these cities there
t alii he at least one Infantry, ono Cavol-
rv, and one Artillery Company, composed
of Youths under eighteen, exempts, and
me.i who have been discharged from the
service. Men of wealth an 1 influence
s’i mid give their money liberally, and de
vote their time to the organization of these
Military Companies. The Confederate
and State Governments should co-operate
with the City authorities in this important
work of preparation for resisting invasion.
The State Road, and its property in the
City of Atlanta, is enough of itself to au
thorise the Governor to keep a force of sev
eral thousand men along its track. Let
the Mayors of the above named Cities call
out. the citizens and enroll them without
cldav. If there are any who stand hack,
and refuse to respond to the call, let them

FROM RICHMOND*
Richmond, May 22.—Gov. Seymrur, in
a letter in the Vallandigham sympathisers’
meeting, at Albany, N. Y., says the arrest
of Yaliandigham has brought dishonor
upon the country. If the proceedings are
approved by the Government and sanct
ioned by the people, it is not merely a
step to revolution, hut it is revolution.—
We pause to see what kind of a Govern
ment for which we are asked to pour out
our blood and treasure. The action of
the administration will determine in the
minds of more than half the people of the
loyal Stales, whether this war is waged to
put down.the rebellion in the South, or
to destroy the free institutions ot the.
North. We look for its decision with
solemn solicitude.

It will be seen fr^pi the following

LATEST NEWS FROM THE
NORTH.
Fkedekicksulkg, May l’Jtli, lbt53.
New York dates of the IGth instant
have been received at Richmond, and
afford the following intelligence from
the United States :
The New Y'ork Times has a special
telegram from Washington respecting
the conscription law, which the United
States Government plainly perceives
will be practically defeated by the pro
viso admitting the payment of S-300, to
be a discharge from military service.
“Washington,May 15th.—The ISth
section of the conscription law has to
day received an interpretation, and sub
stantially » war-like adjudication. On
the representation ot iniiucuti»i »u;7 U n 8
of Illinois, that the acceptance of S300
from drafted men, in lieu ot strrviee
throughout the West would degenerate
the enrollment measure, and defeat lhe
intent to rttise an army. Secretary
Stanton is understood to have decided
that the section is permissive, and not
mandatory; that it is optional with
him whether to receive the .money or
reject it ; that lie is not a national
treasurer; tfiat he gives no bond for
the safe keeping of money ; lias no
financial officers under hinr; has no
means of enforcing security for the im
mense sums his subordinates would re
ceive on this commutation of military
service, and lias no time to go into the
business of hunting up substitutes. So
licitor Whiting, of 1 lie War Depart
ment, concurs in these views. The
President also concurs in their legality
and policy. Thc clause of the uct%el-
ling exemptions at $300, therefore,will
be practically ignored. Conscripts
will either be left to bunt up substi
tutes at their own price, or an equal
number of volunteers wilt l>e called lor,
at the time the draft is ordered, to be
accepted as substitutes for drafted men.
and to receive a Government bounty of
SJOO, and the conscripts exemption
price at thc same time. Any way, the
enrollment law will not be a revenue
measure, but a war measure ”
The subject of another telegram to
the same paper is the statement of J.
B. Gilfeather, a deserter, from the 3d
Alabama regiment, Rhode’s brigade,
who states that the divisions of Hood
and Pickett have arrived from the ed.
